DIY Acrylic Nails

Hi there everyone!
So today I did my mother's nails while we were spending some time together, she always did her nails at salons which costs her tons and tons of money. Until one day when I asked her if I can try to do her nails on my own, so if I can do it properly then she could save up a ton of money!
So I am going to share what I did step by step in this tutorial.

So firstly what you will need is :

• Tips (optional)
• Towel
• Nail cutter (optional)
• Nail glue
• Nail files
• Resin activator
• Clear acrylic polimer
• Top coat
• Buffer
• Nail brush

So firstly what you need is clean hands with no nail polish on whatsoever .

Then you file the nails lightly to make it able to stick on the tips and glue ( if you are using tips)

Then you measure the nails to fit on the real nails before you start pasting.

Then you put the glue on the edge you are going to paste onto the real nail

Then you take the nail cutter and measure the length you want the nail to be and cut all the nails that way

Then after that step the nails should look like this.

Then you start filing away at the nails shaping them in the way you want, you also got to file on top of the nail to make the fake nail sit flush with the real nail to make it look real.

Then you start by putting glue on the entire nail and then the nail must be dipped in the acrylic powder , do so for 3 layers on all the nails.

Then you take the nail brush and brush off the excess powder

Then the filing starts again, you must file the nails so its nice and smooth around the edges and on top

Then you start to buff the nails to get them nice and smooth

Then you get the top coat because you are almost done!

After you have done 2 layers of top coat you finally have your finished product!
